Create a club, add a Cricket squad, set the batting order, run the overs clock, then watch runs and wickets build as batting and bowling improve through the season.
Who Cricket on Playmetric is for
Coaches record limited-overs grassroots cricket on the boundary — batting order, overs, runs, and wickets — so progress is clear as players improve. Parents can follow their own child’s participation. Players aged 16 or over can keep their own record. Under 16s are added by a parent or coach.
After sign-in, use the bottom tabs for the Cricket team you selected. Switch sports from Teams when you also run Football.
Football and Cricket squads stay separate. A player record belongs to one sport’s membership.
1. Create or join a club
On Create a club, enter your name, adult email, and a password of at least 8 characters. Choose team manager or club secretary, then the club and team name. Start from the Cricket marketing pages so the first team defaults to Cricket.
Team manager creates the club and first team in one go.
If the club already exists, pick the exact name and wait for approval.
Club secretary handles billing and club admin without the player list unless later invited onto a team.
2. Add the Cricket squad
Open Team. Add players one by one, or import a CSV. Record what you need to run the innings.
First name, optional last name, optional preferred name.
Shirt number and cricket roles/positions from the Cricket list.
Optional birth year. Availability status only — no diagnosis.
Photos are optional and need granted permission before they show.
3. Before the first ball: fixture and batting order
Open Matches → New fixture. Enter opposition, date, start time, home/away/neutral, optional venue and competition.
Confirm overs-based match defaults for Cricket (not football periods).
Set the batting order for the XI. Save the squad, then open Match Mode when you are at the ground.
4. Run Match Mode
Match Mode is built for a phone on the boundary: overs clock, batting order, and delivery entry for runs, wickets, and extras.
Start the overs clock. Use Keep screen on if your phone supports it.
Record each delivery. Wickets and extras are part of the same flow as runs.
If signal drops, keep recording. Events stay on the phone and sync when you are back online.
A match assistant can run the live innings. They cannot manage the squad, photos, or issued reports.
5. Review and share a report
After the innings, open the match review. Check the score, batting order, and player table before you freeze anything.
Generate report freezes the official snapshot. Later corrections go on as amendments.
Download the PDF or email other coaches on that team.
Parents and 16+ players
Parents and players aged 16 or over register with their own adult email. They follow that player’s Cricket progress — not the whole squad list. Under 16s do not get logins.
